Leave This One To The Picnic Crowd! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 6, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well, there are six single chain baskets here. And, the weather can be delightful, at certain times of the year, and certain times of the day.

The course designers tried to make the most out of what they had to work with. Which is a small area of a flat park, with plenty of other park users and not enough space for even a nine hole course. And no grass or elevation.

Cons:

You're attempting to play around mulitudes of other park patrons. On the evening I played, there were two large picnic groups and I really didn't want to disturb either group. Or get cross between their crossfire!

There are no obvious teepads. The on-line map provided a minimum amount of help and guidance. Had there been anyone playing baseball, that would have empacted my game even more.

Some guy was having a siesta right in the middle of the concrete picnic shelter on # 3 or 4 so I just skipped that hole.

Single chain baskets. No teepads. No signs anywhere.

Other Thoughts:

I don't really know my way around Tucson but I found the other three Tucson area courses all to have some redeeming qualities. If I lived down here, I'd definitely be playing those other three courses and be leaving this one to the picnicikers.
